So sorry that you did not get good results from your colon procedure but I am

glad you had it done because waiting could have been worse. I will pray that

you do not have cancer or they caught it in time. PLease keep writing to us. We

care about you. Becky

Thanks! I am going to need all of the support and friendship that I

can get. The waiting for " the other shoe to drop " (the biopsy results) is going

to drive me bonkers!

Dear Chris:

Why do they have to remove part of your colon if they have not even biopsied the

polyps yet? My husband had 2 polyps removed during his colonoscopy and they

turned out to be benign. It is very common. It seems odd that they are telling

you that they have to remove part of your colon over a couple of polyps before

they even know if there is any malignancy. They do usually tell you that it is a

possibility if the polyps are positive, but it seems that they are jumping the

gun a bit. I hope that you do not have to have that done. As for removing the

polyps, if they turn out to be benign, it usually involves being a little more

invasive with the colonoscopy.

Do not get all worked up before you know you have something to get worked up

about. It serves no purpose. I know it is very frustrating to have to wait out

the news, but try not to panic. It is just as likely that they are benign and

that you will not have to have a section of colon removed. Even if it is the

worst case scenario and you do have colon cancer, we will help to support you

through it. It is a cancer that can be beaten back. Sharon Osborne (Ozzy's wife)

had it years ago and made it through. So can you.

Hang in there.

I hope your poylps are not cancerous!

I have a couple questions for you like you I have no friends. Did anyone

stay with you at the hospital? With no friends, how did you get home from the

hospital?

I have not had to have a procedure done so far, where I could not drive

afterwards. My husband *could* take a day off work to be with me, but he is not

supportive.

I am a newbie, but I am sorry about your diagnosis. Keep your chin up ok. So

far, from just reading the emails I have gotten, this is a great group and will

be here for you. I will light a candle for you and send positive and healing

thoughts your way.

My mother had that same procedure done. They found 8 polyps. None of them were

cancerous. She was told that just about everyone can have polyps and that 9 out

of 10 times they were benign. So please don't make yourself worry so much.

It doesn't matter what the results will be, you will still have many people in

this group who will support you including me.

Feel free to e-mail or chat with me anytime I am usually up all night due to the

meds I take.

Gentle hugs,

Ms.Katurah

I am so sorry to hear the news. I can imagine how scary it is waiting for the

results. I will think positive thoughts that there is no cancer. Please let us

know what the results are when you hear.

Gentle hugs, Tami
